*Thanks to my two lone reviewers so far..I know Claire and the rest of TBC
characters
seem a little snotty, but isn't that ironic that they were getting all mean to her about
saying that she would snub them, but in essence they are snubbing her. And Cloudburst,
I think that I am going to have Bender like tell them off for being mean to her like you
suggested so I just thought that I would give you credit. Well I will try to make it more
realistic but this is fan fiction so whatever.*
"What did you say?" asked Claire shakily.
"Yeah, um Andy and this girl named.what did you say Alison? Yeah they are
going out. Jennifer is really crushed, ya know.she has had a crush on him for forever."
"Yeah.ummm I am going to go to the gym or somewhere and.I'm just gonna
go," Claire said grabbing her book bag.
"Alright.I'll see you later."
"Yeah bye Bernice."
Claire walked out into the hall. Andy and Alison going out made things a lot
more complicated. With Andy going out with Alison she was the only snobby one.
Lost in her thoughts, she ran straight into a tall body.
"Sorry," she said absently.
"Claire?"
"Yeah?" she said spinning around and staring straight into the eyes of John
Bender.
"John," she said nervously.
"Hey."
"How are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm fine, but are you sure you are..I mean you are talking to me in the bright of
day."
"Listen, I am sick of everyone bitching me out.."
"It was just a joke.chill out."
"Well I mean Brian was all mean to me and so was.."
"Do you want to go somewhere and talk?"
"Us? I mean.."
"Yeah we can go to the quad or out on the lawn.although it is really cold."
"OK, I mean are you sure your friends won't mind?"
"Hey, what did I tell you about judging my friends? Anyways, they are
probably as high as fucking kites by now so they wouldn't really know the difference."
"Oh," Claire said, letting out a short laugh.
They walked in silence for a little while and settled down on a bench behind some
trees in the quad
"So," Bender said, "What is the matter."
"Well," Claire said, taking a deep breath, "This morning I just got up and caught a
ride with Emily."
"Emily?"
"My best friend."
"Oh."
"And then I got to school and went to the bathroom and saw Alison there and she
was very bitchy to me and then in Trig, I was assigned as Brian's partner and he was an
asshole to me too. Then I go to study hall and this girl tells me that Andy and Alison are
going out and I feel like I am the only one who is not keeping the bonds we formed on
Saturday."
"I don't want to go all Freud on you, but they are doing exactly what they
condemn you for. They have a notion of you and they don't really want to change it."
"Wow," Claire said disbelievingly, "That was very.insightful of you."
"Well, I have been taking psychology."
"Really?"
"Yeah.I doubt that I will make it into a state college but I thought I would
go to a community one and try to get good enough grades to go to Illinois State and get a
psychology degree."
"Wow, John that is really great..I need to tell you something."
Claire was interrupted by the sound of the bell ringing, signaling the end of study
hall.
"What do you need to tell me?"
"I will just tell you at lunch..meet me at the door."
"OK," John said.
"Bye," Claire said waving and walking away.
"Claire! Wait!"
Claire turned around and John kissed her on the lips.
"Bye," he said, pulling away, "Don't stand me up or I will be thoroughly pissed
off."
She watched him walk away, not worrying about what her friends might think for
a whole five minutes.
*Well I don't think that I did John very well but what can I say.I did the best I could.
The next chapter will be lunch..will Claire stand up to her friends and be with John, or
turn her back on her one true love? Find out on the next installment of As the World
Turns. I also thought about getting Brian a girlfriend.can you guess who? Well please
review!*
